D. the states to have the most power
Answered by GPT 3.5
The Federalists wanted a strong national government. They believed that a stronger central government was necessary to maintain order, protect the nation's interests, and provide for the common defense. They advocated for a strong executive branch and centralized political power.

Additionally, while the Federalists initially opposed the inclusion of a Bill of Rights in the Constitution, as they believed that the rights of individuals were already protected by the structure of the government, they eventually supported its inclusion to help secure the ratification of the Constitution.

However, the Federalists did not believe that the states should have the most power. They favored a system of shared powers between the federal government and the states, but emphasized the importance of a strong national government to effectively govern matters of national concern.

The correct options are:

B. strong national government
C. a Bill of Rights added to the Constitution

The Federalists advocated for a strong central government and believed it was crucial for the stability and effectiveness of the new nation. They also initially opposed the inclusion of a Bill of Rights, but eventually supported its addition to address concerns about protecting individual rights and to secure the ratification of the Constitution.

Option A, more debate over the plan of government, does not accurately represent the Federalist position. The Federalists wanted to promote and advocate for the adoption of the Constitution, rather than prolonging the debate.

Option D, the states to have the most power, is contrary to the Federalists' view. They favored a balanced distribution of powers between the federal government and the states, but generally leaned towards a stronger central government.
